I have 2 laptops which i was getting ready for sale at my workplace. I installed Windows XP pro SP3 (burned copy that works on other computers) with no problem and used the product key from the sticker underneath the laptop. Everything went ok until the moment I wanted to activate. It asked me to put in a new key. I know I put the right key in the first time around, but I put in again a couple more times. Nothing I tryed to go into the MS support site to chat with a tech there, but they want $57 or something for support.
